An extensive list of Celtic wedding traditions. Many of these traditions have bled over into other cultures, such as the tradition of "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue".

The Indian culture celebrates marriage as a sacrament (Saṃskāra), a rite enabling two individuals to start their journey in life together. In a Hindu wedding, the multiplicity of creation becomes possible when spirit (Purusha) unites with matter (Prakṛti). Sometimes stretching as long as a week, Indian weddings are rich with symbolism and traditions.
